A fresh setting for a traditional tale of an American dreaming of making it big, but this time he is a down on his luck pimp who used to rap in high school. With the help of a friend he gives it his best shot to make a hit.

Quick Movie Reviews

A solid movie with the exception of DJ Quals. This is Terrence Howard's best performance. The soundtrack is also good enough to satisfy Rap fans. The story is a bit unbelievable but still gets the job done. Recommended.

Hustle & Flow is at its best when it focuses on the fractured relationships between its characters. The rise through the music industry feels realistic and not too unlikely in scope and, damn, that song is catchy.
